Boiled Tapioca / Kappa / Cassava Stir Fry

Today's recipe is very simple and easy tea time snack, Boiled Tapioca / Kappa stir fry. Once in a while i use to buy Tapioca for Vadai / Tapioca Vadai. But now-a-days due to health n calorie conscious i simple boil them and stir fry with Indian Masalas. This is so easy to prepare and perfect for tea time munch. Particularly for this winter chill evening definitely we need something hot n spicy w/w out coffee right?? As we are spicy lovers i added chilli powder and enjoyed it piping hot and served the left over as a side dish for Milagu Rasam Sadham. this stir fry even suits well as a side dish also. Try this n let me know h it turned out to U :) Now to the Tapioca Stir Fry..

Ingredients

Tapioca 1 lb (peeled and boiled)

Onion 1 medium(thinly sliced)

Garlic 1 large clove(crushed)

Curry leaves 1 sprig

Chilli Powder 1 tsp

Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Cilantro 2 tbsp(finely chopped)

Oil / Coconut oil 2 tsp

Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp

Chana dal 1 tbsp

Urad dal 1/2 tbsp

Method

Wash and peel the Tapioca skin, then cut in to halves or small pieces and put it in a pressure cooker add enough water and pressure cook them for 2-3 whistles.

Once done, drain the water and remove the thick center stem and mash the tapioca/kappa and keep aside.

Then add chilli powder and saute till the masala mixes well and raw smell leaves.

Stir fry for 1-2 minutes lastly add some finely chopped cilantro(i used parsley flakes) mix well and turn off the stove.

That's it..Tapioca / Kappa stir fry is ready to serve.Enjoy Hot !!

Notes:
Frying in coconut oil, gives you the real authentic flavor.
You can also add some shredded coconut along with the cilantro and fry well. This gives nice flavor and taste.
Instead of chilli powder can use broken dry red chillies along with tempering .
